The girl on the train... not the fast paced mystery the trailer touted.

Couldn't agree with you more on any of these.

I was talking about Sausage Party with a mate who had watched it (poor fella), and almost like The Ring, he wanted me to witness the 'orgy' scene.

I wish I could erase that from my memory. I'd worry about anyone who found any of it funny. In all fairness the trailer was sh*te for it, so I knew to completely avoid it.

Came in to post this for the opposite reason. Trailer made it seem like the usual Appatow **** but it was actually ok and different from his usual comedy sh!te.

Still features his annoying f*ck of a wife though.

Cyrus is one for me. Trailer and cast made it seem like an outright comedy where as it was just weird.

Grayson

Coyote Ugly. Promised loads of girls dancing on bars and turns into a chick flick about a girl who wants to write songs.

Hande hoche!

On that note, another is the weather man. Made it seem almost like a bog standard comedy when it was more unusual and dark in parts.

Alf Stewart.

Rogue one.

Trailer didn't impress me.

Movie was absolutely fantastic!

Rogue One - crap!

bazz26

Batman v Superman - the trailers were better than the movie itself, though the extra 30 mins in the Ultimate Edition Blu Ray version went a little to improve it.

Others that come to mind:-

Battleship - more American patriotism nonsense and Rhiana ffs.
The Davinci Code, Angels and Demons, Inferno - all promised a lot but ultimately delivered poorly.
Spring Breakers - trailer looked good but meh.
Godzilla (the most recent one) - again promised to be great but wasn't.

B.A._Baracus

Hancock.

Daz24

Predators with Adrian Brody. Trailer showed like 20 different predators targeting him with lasers. Never happened really disappointed by it.

The second Jack Reacher film, a complete bore fest just felt like Tom was doing it for the sake of doing it.

Borefest of a film.

You think that a film involving a nuclear bomb as a prominent element of the plot is a borefest?!

JaMarcusHustle

Catfish.

Expected a found-footage horror that would disappoint me. Got a fake documentary that disappointed me instead.

Tripe

Stonedpilot

Trailers condense the best parts of the movie into 3 minutes with emotional dramatic music with sharp key changes and seductive soundbites like "life affirming" "stunningly realized" "uplifting" etc used as the music reaches a creshendo. If its comedy "outrageously funny" horror "insanely scary" etc etc
Pure psychology. Most of the films with these trailers are pure garbage.

I remember years ago seeing the trailer for Fight Club and thinking "what a crock of sh1t"... months passing and a few mates recommending and me passing it up until finally I relented and completely loved it. if ever a movie undersold itself in a trailer it was Fight Club.

Halloween Jack

Mission impossible, the big action set piece finale was the trailer, bizarrely

sydthebeat

A million ways to die in the West.

The trailer wasn't at all funny, yet was funnier than the actual movie.

Pure fcuk!ng sh!te

Stigura

Oh god. There's a film I've set my heart on seeing ~ based purely on the adverts. I'm now mortified that it may turn out to be complete shyte

K.Flyer

Duck Soup

Legend (the Tom Hardy as the Kray Twins one).

Looked stonkingly good on the trailer. Actual film, not so much.

Archeron

Gone in 60 seconds looked very good in the trailer . They lied.

Blazer

Any of the recent Star Wars films, all muck.
